Guru Aventus R 11’0″ 2pc Distance Feeder 1-100g

At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that sometimes a standard rod just doesn’t have the backbone for the job. The Guru Aventus R 11’0″ Distance Feeder is the heavy-hitter of the “Reborn” short-rod range. Designed with a higher taper than the standard 11ft model, this rod is built for power, handling payloads up to 100g while maintaining the surgical accuracy Guru is famous for.

If you are regularly fishing large venues where you need to punch through a headwind or steer double-figure carp away from snags, this is the tool you need in your holdall.

Technical Specifications

Advanced Casting & Playing Technology

Zero90X Carbon – Power Without the Twist

The “Distance” designation is backed by Guru’s new Zero90X technology. By adding an X-weave layer between the carbon sheets, the blank resists twisting during the high-compression phase of a long cast. This means your energy goes directly into the flight of the feeder, resulting in longer, straighter casts even when using heavy 80g-100g method feeders.

Aventus DT Quivertips

Unlike the standard models, the Distance series features the DT (Distance Taper) tips. Made from high-quality Japanese carbon, these tips are designed to blend perfectly into the stiffer, more powerful blank. They feature Fuji KW Anti-Tangle guides and a specialized LG Tangle-Free tip guide, which is a lifesaver when using shock leaders or fishing in choppy, windy conditions.

RJS – Rigid Joint System

Even with the increased power of a 100g casting weight, the Aventus R maintains a beautiful playing action. The RJS system reinforces the ferrules with Zero90X carbon, eliminating the “flat spots” common in powerful two-piece rods. This gives you a seamless curve that cushions the lunges of big fish, protecting your hooklengths.

Where to Use This Rod

The 11’0″ Distance Feeder is the ultimate versatile power tool, perfect for:

• Big Commercials: Reaching those “middle-of-the-lake” spots that others can’t quite hit accurately.

• Large Method/Hybrid Feeders: When you need to carry a lot of bait to the bottom in deep water.

• Big Fish Venues: Ideal for targeting double-figure carp where you need a “backbone” to control the fight.

• Windy Conditions: The extra stiffness in the lower blank helps cut through crosswinds that would bow a standard rod.

💡 Gerry’s Pro Tip

Don’t be afraid to lean into this rod. While the 100g rating sounds heavy, the Zero90X carbon makes the blank feel incredibly crisp. To maximize distance, use a slightly longer drop on your cast; the faster recovery of the “R” series will do the rest of the work for you. It’s also a fantastic “big water” bomb rod for the winter months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this rod too stiff for F1s?

While it has a 100g casting weight, the RJS joint system ensures it still has a progressive action. It’s certainly more powerful than the standard 11ft, but it won’t “bounce” fish off easily. It is, however, better suited for venues where larger carp are the primary target.

What is the benefit of the Fuji KW guides?

The “KW” guides are tilted to prevent the line from looping around the guide frame during the cast—a common cause of crack-offs, especially when using braid or heavy mono.

Does it come with a rod bag?

Yes, like all flagship Guru rods, it comes in a premium protective sleeve designed to keep your high-modulus carbon and Fuji components safe in transit
